    don't use labels on dvd's as will cause them to warp & not read properly

    your 1st post says print labels to printable disks so don't use labels at all. epson r200 & r300 series are good for printable disks.

    The Epson Stylus Photo R: 200/220/240/300/320/and 340 use the same disc guide tray. I've printed several hundred with no trouble.That clear plastic pc does bend down,but I can easily bend it back up.

    The R-240 and R-340 are the latest models at most stores.

    Staple's has been listing the R-340 for $139. You may even find an older model on clearance for a very cheap price.
    Best Buy/Office Depot/ and Office Max also have the epson R- series Dvd/cd printers. Sam's Club is another place you can get a good deal on one if you're a member.

    The 200 series is a basic cd/dvd printer,as well as reg printing. The R-300 series has more bells and whistles on it. Example: Card reader and Color View screen. All have basically exact same printing specs.

    Best of All about these epson printers:
    Ink prices. I can get all 6 ink carts for well under $20 a set at meritline.com. They run $55-$60 a set at most retail stores like walmart/etc. They also do very good photo prints.

    iv got a r220 and not a problem. the r3xx does have more bells and whistles but if you use you pc to view/edit/store your pics before printing i dont think you will ever need/use them.

    i use a continus ink system, tubes from the cartridge go into a tank behind the printer which you fill with bottled ink, £1.50 for 200ml, better qual than compatables if you find good inks.

    She's doing very good. Mamma giving her a bath right now and she's screaming bloody murder, LOL. She loves to watch football.

    The 200 series does a fantastic job. Most pcs come with card readers so the card reader on them may be unnecessary. I also wouldn't have a use for the view screen. It does turn out some fabulous pics from my digital camera,even with the generic Ink.
